[0:02]look at that first signs of

[0:06]autumn unfortunately we won't be here

[0:08]for it cuz we are leaving this

[0:11]week one day I get my

[0:14]dentures and then think we're going to

[0:16]leave sometime that week I'm not waiting

[0:19]around it's time to go so no nonsense

[0:23]today we

[0:24]go we deal with the RV go to the new

[0:28]Campground

[0:30]we got set

[0:32]up we prepare for

[0:34]Monday we prepare to leave

[0:38]Kentucky baile in the car the

[0:41]Jeep which is

[0:44]packed I don't really have room for

[0:46]anything in here like I have truly

[0:49]over packed it he isn't going to be

[0:51]happy but he'll get over

[0:55]it I've got my headphones on so I don't

[0:58]have to listen to him complain

[1:01]okay I don't really like that I want you

[1:02]to be

[1:04]balanced it's not

[1:09]bad I shift modes I shift gears when

[1:12]it's time

[1:13]to right now no

[1:16]nonsense so I'm at the RV place with

[1:18]Bailey they're going

[1:21]to um I asked them you just push that

[1:25]side in

[1:27]and destroy the bad flatform and they're

[1:30]going to do it but they're going to need

[1:31]time so until the afternoon it's 900 in

[1:34]the morning I don't know what to do with

[1:35]me and Bailey in the meantime Bailey

[1:38]cannot be in that little carry he is not

[1:39]going to like that

[1:41]so he's going to need a litter box I got

[1:45]to think this through all right change

[1:47]the plans they can't they can't tear it

[1:50]out underneath of it is one of my

[1:51]storage P like it's right there um

[1:54]there's really it wouldn't give me much

[1:56]room at all so but you know um the side

[2:00]he says it's fine for now but it's going

[2:02]to you know he says for a few months I'm

[2:05]like well if it's just a few months and

[2:06]I'm not bringing it out I'm just going

[2:07]to live with it um this does create some

[2:10]issues for

[2:12]how I don't know how I'm sleeping now

[2:15]we'll figure that out once we get to the

[2:17]campground I guess um but they're just

[2:20]they don't need long now they're just

[2:21]going to finish some things up and we

[2:23]can go I couldn't find a cat sitter but

[2:25]we don't have to be here long

[2:27]so um

[2:30]we adapt all right we're on our way to

[2:32]the next Campground I don't remember if

[2:34]I said in my last video or not but the

[2:36]slide out isn't flush which means that's

[2:39]going to be an insulation issue all

[2:41]kinds of problems especially considering

[2:43]where I'm going to Washington in the

[2:45]winter with the rain and all of that so

[2:47]I have to get a fix but they can't even

[2:49]get the parts here for weeks so we're

[2:51]just going to go we're going to go to

[2:53]Washington and we they have blue

[2:55]compasses there also and we'll have them

[2:58]order it and we'll deal with it while

[2:59]we're there here I mean that's all we

[3:00]can do we're adapting in real

[3:03]time um at

[3:05]least you

[3:07]know I know it'll get resolved it's

[3:09]going to take some it'll probably be a

[3:10]while cuz it's going to take us well

[3:11]first we're going to Nevada like I mean

[3:13]it's just like um I'll think it through

[3:17]but I you know I know that we're going

[3:19]to get it fixed so it's not stressing me

[3:20]out so bad but we are going to have to

[3:24]you know

[3:25]tolerate the situation like it might let

[3:28]insects in it'll definitely let hot or

[3:30]cold air in depending on the temperature

[3:32]where we're at so that's a thing we're

[3:35]going to have to adapt to um but we're

[3:37]leaving as soon as possible I'm not even

[3:39]going to stay at this Campground for two

[3:40]weeks I I get my teeth on Monday I mean

[3:43]we could leave as soon as Tuesday like

[3:45]I'm ready to go I want to go I want out

[3:47]of here so that's what we're

[3:51]doing I know why I hate this

[3:54]slide because I hate reconfiguring my

[3:56]space every time I bring it in or out

[4:00]I have to reconfigure everything I

[4:02]absolutely hate

[4:03]that I like flux but I also like a

[4:07]certain amount of stability in my

[4:08]environment and having to move things

[4:10]around every single time I bring this SL

[4:13]in or out is deeply

[4:16]frustrating I am going to find a way to

[4:18]make this

[4:19]work it's going to be a challenge I mean

[4:22]this is actually an an interesting one

[4:25]like I'm actually a little bit

[4:27]fascinated by

[4:30]you know and I'm thinking it through

[4:32]like you know you can see here that

[4:33]there's there's a small space down there

[4:36]maybe my solar panels can fit there or

[4:38]maybe they can go up there the top of

[4:41]the SL made in Al Cove that's probably a

[4:44]great place for my solar panels cuz

[4:46]those are always in the way I can put my

[4:48]camping gear up there in some ways this

[4:51]gives me more space which

[4:54]is very fascinating

[4:58]that's not even framing like it really

[5:00]feels like that it's more

[5:03]space

[5:05]um I don't I don't know I mean I'm

[5:08]sitting on my bed

[5:10]platform Bailey's I don't know what's

[5:12]going on with him

[5:17]he's what's going on with you like I

[5:20]I I think he is maybe he's sensing what

[5:23]I'm going through right now like I'm

[5:24]literally like in this cognitive state

[5:28]where it's like okay we're not

[5:31]level I could probably get us

[5:33]level with a lot more effort but it's

[5:36]not effort I really want to expend

[5:38]honestly like if I can't get this thing

[5:40]up with three levels of blocks that's

[5:42]that's ridiculous to me so that's a cam

[5:45]Crown problem I I genuinely think that's

[5:47]another systems problem Campground

[5:49]should make these things more level I

[5:51]I'm shocked that they make them like

[5:53]this where where I would have to carry

[5:56]four bags of Lego bricks in order to

[5:59]make this thing level that's too much I

[6:01]don't want to carry that much

[6:03]stuff a lot of core engineer places are

[6:05]like this too and that's what I'm going

[6:07]to be staying at when I start traveling

[6:09]west so I'm going to keep encountering

[6:11]this problem and

[6:14]that's when I see friction in the

[6:19]system a whole lot of feelings go

[6:21]through my body through my mind like I

[6:23]just I don't like it because it it

[6:26]shouldn't be that way this is a pro this

[6:28]is a solvable problem problem this is a

[6:30]known problem you know but people just

[6:34]accept it I don't want to accept

[6:39]this but I don't have a choice right now

[6:43]so you know for the weekend I'm

[6:44]accepting it I guess that's how that

[6:48]works I guess that's how that works so

[6:50]I'm part of the problem too guys I am

[6:54]loving this I didn't lose my thermal

[6:56]curtains they can kind of go around the

[6:58]SL

[7:00]thing there side slide slide I guess so

[7:03]this is still

[7:04]functional I've got my solar panels up

[7:07]here I have never had a good place for

[7:09]those I have all the space I do need to

[7:11]clean the top of this

[7:13]slly um but all my camping GE and stuff

[7:16]can go up here the baskets you know are

[7:18]going to be inaccessible so I'll

[7:19]probably take those down my RGB lights

[7:22]that I've got back there may still look

[7:24]cool even even like that and I still

[7:28]have one row a string of them that I

[7:30]haven't used yet that I can put across

[7:33]this side of the slide now I've been

[7:35]waiting for an opportunity to use

[7:38]those Bailey is enjoying it I have my

[7:41]stool to get up here this is going to be

[7:44]a very functional space when I Amin

[7:47]done this is how you turn a challenge

[7:53]into a completely different way of

[7:55]looking at things like I I'm I going to

[7:58]put this into works I don't want to say

[8:00]a challenge into an opportunity it is

[8:02]more than

[8:08]that it's

[8:11]intentional it's intentional I have

[8:13]accepted this I've embraced it now it's

[8:16]just about working with

[8:19]it and there are so many things about it

[8:22]that make my life easier and better it

[8:24]Brees up space for so much

[8:27]more in my mind and even here like this

[8:30]is actually more more storage space than

[8:33]I've ever had I can actually put some of

[8:34]my clothes up here like my like summer

[8:37]or winter depending on the season just

[8:39]store them up here I've had nowhere for

[8:41]that stuff like there's just so much

[8:44]potential

[8:46]potential so Bailey and I are here uh at

[8:50]our new campsite we're going to be here

[8:52]for the weekend Monday I will go to um

[8:56]the dentist to get my teeth and then

[8:58]Tuesday I think we probably probably

[8:59]leaving we're going to start heading

[9:01]L but I want to I want to show you

[9:04]what's going on around here because it's

[9:06]kind of

[9:07]fascinating

[9:09]so my slide is not an ideal slide even

[9:13]if I got it

[9:15]fixed this problem will probably occur

[9:18]again it's just a bad design and I was

[9:23]already

[9:24]thinking how much I disliked the slide

[9:27]because it required me to reconfigure my

[9:30]space every single time I got to a

[9:34]campsite or wanted to leave like it just

[9:37]it was

[9:39]mental space and physical space

[9:43]and let me reframe that like energy it

[9:46]was mental and physical energy that I

[9:48]had to invest every single time I wanted

[9:51]to move this thing and I hated it I

[9:53]absolutely hated

[9:54]it so I had already been thinking is

[9:57]there a way for me to get away with just

[9:59]having to slide in here like do I have

[10:02]to have this slide out but I don't think

[10:04]I would

[10:05]have gotten to that

[10:08]point where I am

[10:11]now

[10:13]if I hadn't taken it to the shop and

[10:16]discover just how much of a problem the

[10:17]slide really is so with that preface the

[10:22]slide is still in I've been here for

[10:24]several hours and I have been adapting

[10:26]and reframing and rethinking this space

[10:30]completely and I have fully embraced and

[10:33]accepted it already I love it now this

[10:37]is probably going to talk to of you

[10:39]because I don't even have a bed right

[10:41]now I threw my I threw my mattress out I

[10:43]had them throw it in the dumpster and

[10:45]where I thought I could build kind of

[10:47]like a space for a bed actually won't

[10:49]work because once the side was in I

[10:51]realized oh it also has balls on the

[10:53]side so took up some of the space that

[10:57]I was in anticipating being able to use

[11:00]that

[11:01]way but I'm not stressed about it I'll

[11:05]deal with it um somehow I don't even

[11:08]know how yet maybe I'll get a cot or

[11:10]maybe I will sleep on the floor I

[11:11]haven't I really just don't know yet but

[11:13]for me this is exactly what I needed it

[11:17]has brought me immense pleasure and let

[11:20]me show you why so this is this is the

[11:23]bad alov

[11:24]area it's too you know there's not

[11:26]enough room to lay flat on it so I don't

[11:29]know what I'll do with it it might

[11:31]become a storage just a space to hang

[11:34]out maybe I'll get some kind of padding

[11:36]here maybe this becomes a couch I don't

[11:38]know a living area in fact you know what

[11:40]I think that's what it's going to be I

[11:42]don't know what I'll do over here yet

[11:44]it's just a small little bit of a space

[11:47]um but there's my um my new power

[11:49]adapter how cool is that or not power

[11:51]adapter what is that called surge

[11:52]protector it's a built-in one so I never

[11:56]have to worry about that again I'll have

[11:58]to move this stuff cuz you know it

[11:59]doesn't make sense there anymore I'll

[12:01]have to insulate all the slide mechanism

[12:04]stuff here especially cuz I'm heading to

[12:06]the Pacific Northwest I'll need to move

[12:08]my picture so that I can see it better

[12:11]you know I love that picture but here's

[12:14]what makes it really

[12:16]special I actually gain storage

[12:20]space above my slide I can now put my

[12:24]solar panels out of the wing something I

[12:27]haven't been able to do in 6 months I

[12:29]won't be able to use these baskets um

[12:31]they're just not reachable but I have

[12:33]all this space I'm going to put my

[12:35]camping gear up here and I don't even

[12:37]know what else we'll see my solar stuff

[12:40]down here in the corner strapped down

[12:42]perfectly during the drive not a single

[12:44]problem my desktop's working you know no

[12:47]problems with any of this stuff I think

[12:50]because the space is smaller now see we

[12:52]just have this hallway here I might get

[12:56]a different like desk or something maybe

[12:58]like half the size cuz I don't you know

[13:00]I don't know maybe you know I'm still

[13:02]thinking it through I've already

[13:04]embraced it this is what I'm doing I am

[13:06]happy about this and now I have nothing

[13:10]but possibilities to

[13:12]explore I have had an opip this is

[13:16]definitely going to be the lounge area

[13:17]and I can put my desktop over there and

[13:21]mount my monitor probably up here to

[13:24]this and this space will just be a

[13:26]lounge area where I can work where I can

[13:28]play games video games where I can watch

[13:30]movies off of my

[13:32]monitor meley can chill here as you can

[13:35]see he loves to do that and then this

[13:37]area here becomes auminum space where I

[13:40]can do whatever I want you know if I

[13:42]want to start cooking now I've got space

[13:44]for it or I can work on my book Nooks or

[13:48]just anything this space has not been

[13:50]easy to use because the keyboard the

[13:52]mouse the monitor all that stuff gets in

[13:54]the way now this area can be just

[13:58]cleared off

[14:00]I can have all my other you know have my

[14:02]My leisur Le and work stuff going on

[14:04]over there oh and it be you know that's

[14:06]where I'll sleep for now maybe at an

[14:08]angle or something until I figure

[14:09]something out just temporarily so that's

[14:12]the plan um I'm just going to have to

[14:14]find out if there's any stores around

[14:16]here cuz I have no

[14:17]idea um I'm just going to keep working

[14:20]on this space I that's what I'm doing

[14:22]this weekend working on the space

[14:24]getting prepared because

[14:27]Monday is you know the last thing I need

[14:29]to do here and then we're out of here I

[14:31]am so excited I am just brimming with

[14:34]excitement like I just cannot wait to go

Summary

rswfire deals with a malfunctioning RV slide that won't extend properly, initially seeking repair at an RV service center. When the repair proves complex and time-consuming, he adapts by embracing the slide-in configuration permanently. He reconfigures his living space, moving solar panels to the top of the retracted slide, creating new storage areas, and reimagining the layout as a lounge area and work space. Bailey (his cat) accompanies him throughout the process. He plans to get dentures on Monday and leave Kentucky immediately after, heading west toward Washington state. The malfunction transforms from a problem into an opportunity for better space utilization.
